e6d57e9ff0ae ("netfilter: conntrack: fix rmmod double-free race") consolidates IPS_CONFIRMED bit set in nf_conntrack_hash_check_insert(). However, this breaks ctnetlink: # conntrack -I -p tcp --timeout 123 --src 1.2.3.4 --dst 5.6.7.8 --state ESTABLISHED --sport 1 --dport 4 -u SEEN_REPLY conntrack v1.4.6 (conntrack-tools): Operation failed: Device or resource busy This is a partial revert of the aforementioned commit to restore IPS_CONFIRMED.
